3BHL000391P0101/5SHX1445H0001/5SGX1445H0001 ABB Power Semiconductor Module Introduction
First, let me clarify a key fact: these models are actually ABB’s IGCT (Integrated Gate Converter Thyristor) modules, not traditional IGBTs. IGCT is a technology proposed by ABB in 1997, which integrates and packages GTO thyristor chips with anti parallel diodes and gate driver circuits. It combines the high-speed switching capability of IGBT and the low on state loss advantage of thyristor, and belongs to a higher power level device than IGBT. Users commonly refer to it as IGBT, and the following understanding will be based on this.

Difference from traditional IGBT:
IGCT is essentially an upgraded version of GTO technology, not IGBT. It exhibits the low loss characteristics of thyristors during the conduction stage and the controllable turn off characteristics of transistors during the turn off stage. Compared to IGBTs of the same voltage level, IGCT has a larger current capacity (up to several thousand amperes), slightly lower switching frequency but smaller losses, making it more suitable for ultra-high voltage and high-power scenarios above 3300V. ABB is one of the top three global suppliers in the field of high voltage above 3300V, along with Infineon and Mitsubishi.
Compatible devices:
Mainly used for ABB medium voltage frequency converters and ACS series drive systems, it can also be used in the power module package of flexible DC transmission equipment represented by Saijing (Saijing has an exclusive agency agreement with ABB).
